Lights, Camera, Action!

You know what my friend, the Bible tells us about trials and tribulations in this world, in short we will all have trials in or lives. Darating at darating sa buhay mo na magkakaruon ka talaga ng challenges in life. There will come a time na mahihirapan ka sa mga bagay bagay, kung hindi sa pera, sa love life (if not in your finances, it will happen in your love life), your parenting skills will be challenged, you patience in your job will be challenged. All of us will pass this. But one thing is only certain, we can just be a good cheer because when these situation arises, it is just a set up or a preparation for your own VICTORY! If you are going through a hard time right now, let me tell you my friend, IT IS NOT yet OVER!!!

When I was working with my boss in the Philippines, we had some changes, changes in the configuration of the area of coverage, changes in the people, assignment and everything. Guess what my boss told me during those times of change and trials. He said “Birth pains lang yan mike, it will come to pass”. Same with you today my friend, you may be undergoing trials, you maybe thinking bakit nangyari ito sakin, bakit ako na deny ng visa, bakit di ako nakapasa sa exam, bakit ang tagal tagal, bakit ganito ang buhay ko!!! Let me encourage you my friend, ngayon lang yan, birth pains lang yan. I believe malalagpasan mo din yan!!!

Let’s look at it at a directors perspective, our God is the director of our lives, He directs all of our steps, our action, our decisions in life. Like a director in the movies, as much as possible, the director wants the whole attention to the main character in the movie, He wants the main actor to sometimes be beaten up, sometimes to undergo a very demanding scene, like bubugbugin muna, or meron mangyayari di maganda sa buhay, or a disaster will strike or somebody will be killed or a business bankrupt or whatever downing circumstances, the main actor will encounter conflict or opposition. But as the director finishes the movie, he makes it a point to finish the movie with a BANG! He makes it a point that all things will turn around in the end. I know you will say it’s just a movie, but our God is the greatest director of them all. I mean, all movies or let’s just say majority of the blockbuster movies always end happy. If you are to watch a failed movie, will you like it? When you are watching a movie, you know that deep inside it will turn out right diba? Even though you don’t know what will happen next.

You know what my friend, sometimes we have to look at our lives the same way in the movies, you may not be as good looking like Piolo Pascual or Tom Cruise, you may look like Piyolo Pascolo or Thomas Cruz, but let me tell you something you have a great director, working behind the scenes. You have to recognize that your life story is not yet over! IT ISN’T over yet my friend, it is just starting! You maybe in the middle of situation right now! But its not yet over! There will be a time that the main actor will prevail over the enemy, same with your life, there will come a time all things will turn around for you. There will come a time you will beat that enemy, there will come a time you will end in VICTORY!!!!

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4
